2014 Nukeproof Mega AM Comp

This arrived for me the other day:

Found this inside of it




2014 Nukeproof Mega Am 275 Comp. Did order the 2013 model but the supplier made a mistake with their website as they let me order one without having any. They siad I could take this for the same price
Pikes and Rockshox Monarch Plus R shock are an excellent combo. So smooth over the smaller bumps and soak up the bigger hits with no problems. Uphill isn't a problem either with pedal bob being kept to a minimum. Crying out for a dropper post though, will have to wait a bit as if I spend anymore the wife will not be impressed
SRAM Type 2 rear mech quietens things down on the rear end but still going to fit a chain device. Swapped out the Avid Elixier 3 brakes for my Shimano ones (personal choice) and have stuck on my ODI Yeti grips. Apart from that it standard. Was a bit dubious about the wheel size (supplier said I could send it back for free if I didn't like them) but after a few mins out on the trails I love them. Smoother and faster IMO than riding with 26" wheels and can still turn/chuck it about with no problems (well as much as my skills will allow).
All in all a great bike.....for me anyway

Cheers mate, prefer the black/yellow colour scheme but as you'll know you can't get it on the AM Comp. Your TR is looking rather nice as well.

Awesome bike anyway, and that's well lucky you got a '14 for the price of the '13!

Hah £50 would be on its way but I'm afraid it's got to go towards a dropper post :roll:
Only been out on it once so far as now have man flu (typically on my days off :x ).
Thought I was quite lucky as well, when they said 'would you mind if we sent you the 2014 with Pikes instead' I had to think for at least a second before agreeing

You need thay sticker and patch so others can identify your bike as a Nukeproof, my Scalp only has 64 Nukeproof logos on. Not counted on my Mega yet.

Not really mate, still the same spec as original post. Only thing I've messed with was a Blackspire Stinger, wasn't sure if it was doing anything, as it has a type 2 rear mech, so took it off again but it's now a lot noisier on the downhills so just ordered an e13 trs.
Pikes are now set up perfect for me after fitting 2 of the spacers (was blowing through full travel on the bigger jumps) and rear shock is great.
Took it to Dalbeattie the other week and did 40k on it with no problems. Whinlatter brings out the best in it though as it love's the downhills

Planning a trip to North Wales next year to try a few of the tails down there, can't wait
